Property Description

Located east of Highway 5 between Lebanon and Hartville, MO, sits this 205-acre property offering a rural setting without total seclusion. There is a paved road less than one minute away. From the property, the road is easily accessed and borders Creek Road on the southeast side. Upon entering the interior of the property, access to the whole parcel is gained by using the internal trail system. The woods vary slightly across the property with the common denominator being mature trees in the overstory. There is a good oak mix dominating the canopy. At the ground level, the recent flush of growth is thick, attracting wildlife. Currently, there are no structures on the property, but power is conveniently located at the road for those who wish to build.

At the back of the open field, there is an option to take one of two trail entrances to enter the wooded portions of the property. One trail leads to a deer stand which is located in the southwest corner of the property. The second trail will take you north through the property leading to other stand sites. A true outdoorsman knows that finding a property that offers a good mix of mature oaks that produce mast as a food source and good growth at the ground level for food and cover can be a hard combination to find. This property has just that! A few years ago, the canopy was opened just enough to let light in and stimulate growth at the ground level resulting in a vegetative response that is beneficial to all kinds of wildlife. Ground-nesting birds have nesting sites and a place for their young to evade predators. Whitetail fawns are sure to also appreciate how many places they have to hide. Turkey poults have a much better chance of surviving on this farm than the typical Missouri farm! Hunters know that if there are food and plenty of places to hide, the property will likely have old bucks. For those interested in building, this property allows for a build site on the open ground close to the road or tucked back into the woods on one of the many flat sites throughout the interior of the property.
